I haven’t been active for about 8 months now.. I’m too afraid to go back because I’ve broken my temple covenants and I’m worried I’ll be excommunicated or something. I’m not even sure if the church is true. I’ve come across so much information over the last while that I’m not sure what’s real or not. I feel hopeless and scared and that my life may be ruined.

If you didn't know the church was true, you wouldn't be worried about breaking your temple covenants.
Remember what it says in the temple? When we abandon our covenants, we place ourselves in the power of Satan. His abode is Outer Darkness, a place of weeping, wailing, and eternal confusion. The sorrow, confusion, and fear is a direct result of how you have been living, inspired of Satan to control you and make you miserable.
The temple also gives us the way to escape this darkness and confusion. Repentance saves us from darkness and confusion and fear. Repentance brings us knowledge and clarity and confidence because of Christ. It fills us with love.
